Sindhi Phote Bhugi Turi (Ridge Gourd in Cardamom)

Sometimes a simple cooked subji is all that’s needed to satisfy us. Today was one of those days when I was craving my Indian food, as normally we have Indonesian food for lunch 😊. Made turiya sabji as we Sindhis make it, using only cardamom and shah jeera for flavouring. Sprinkle a bit of black pepper powder on top and relish it with a hot chapati.

Ingredients

  • 250 gms chopped turiya (after peeling)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • ½ tsp shah jeera
  • ½ tsp freshly ground elaichi powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper powder
  • Coriander leaves

Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the chopped onion and cook till translucent.
  2. Add the shah jeera and elaichi powder.
  3. Add the turiya and grated ginger.
  4. Cook and mash with the back of a spoon till it comes together.
  5. Add salt to taste.
  6. Sprinkle black pepper powder and coriander leaves. Done.

Takes around 10 minutes to make this small amount — good for 2 people.
